Real easy way, found a local Boy Scout office, many will carry some pre-made staffs... also kits to make your own. Other way is to DIY using either tool handle from big box store, or get a 6' section of 1" dowel rod and add accourtments.
Normally I use trek poles for hiking, but I do occasionally take my "Staff of many items" Boy Scout staff to Scouting events.
Most Cracker Barrell stores also have walking staffs.
.... the Aardvark (earth pig)... a rather unremarkable creature whose sole claim to fame is that it is the first animal listed in the dictionary.

They sold lots of difernet ones at the Ren Faire near Charlotte this weekend. Maybe look for a Ren fair in your state:

After I destroyed my ankle and was laid-up for several months, I made one out of a martial arts tapered oak bo staff.
Real solid and I carved in a Celtic knotwork pattern for the hand grip area.
Straight and solid.
Just what I needed!

If you can find bamboo in your area, you can easily make a walking staff from bamboo. You need to find a section long enough (easy) and the right diameter (again pretty easy).
Sand down the joins between sections. Make a hand grip using Amsteel - gray so that the dye doesn't dye your hand. Just wrap.
Makes a great walking staff.
I know at my local academy they have one wood walking stick, might be worth checking out so that you don't have to pay shipping
Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'm going to use dkpurdue's idea and convert a martial arts staff.
